"Pricing for value is, to my mind, one of the most critical challenges for providers of legal services at the moment. The need to understand value - from a client's perspective - and the ability to construct an appropriate pricing offer are now key attributes of a modern practitioner. Burcher Jennings brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to these crucial aspects of practice. In the interests of more effective and valuable legal services, I welcome their new venture, and am delighted to support it."
